I Miss You.. im having a bad day.

Filed under: eye candies, dailies, rants - velvet @ 11:41 am

Current Music: Spacemen 3 - Feel So Sad

i miss you.. ive been using my fingers alone. (erm…)
nothing to press but one clicking tune
and its drivin me nuts
and everything’s so slow…
-AVS

My keyboards plug were distroyed by an assh* who attempted to get rid of my whole PC! When he realized he cannot unplug the monitor (*cough.. stu… *cough.. pid!) he gave up and ranted and shouted all possible curses ever invented instead. When he finally left, i found out he pulled the keyb plug the wrong way! the little wires were dislocated from where it should be. actually i do not know if ill get mad or laugh of his erm… lol!

Well that happened months ago.. but since i cannot find a sincere store who could sell me only the plug (everybody else insisted me to replace the whole thing! tssk.. well my black keyb just happend to be paired with my Logitech optical mouse and its stil working fine so why replace it?) I grabbed the keyb of my sister’s old PC since she already has a laptop and is seldom home anyway.

But today, for some unknown reason she needed her PC… ok im not mean anyway it was hers so i have no choice but to return it. And here i am tssk typing with the On-Screen keyboard that comes with Win XP. brr… well come to think of it, im getting a hang of it now. (talk about desperation!)

And my ISP suddenly stopped providing internet connection. Redialed. “Access Denied”. WTF! pre-paid ran out? no way! its 100 hours! it harly felt i even reached 50! oh… breathe… i know i have a spare one in my bag. hmmm cool! found it! Called the tech support. yeah! there was a catch. 100 hours only in 14 days and weekends count! but you cannot use the card unless its 5am to 5pm Mondays to Fridays only!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

And today my banners were denied at Blog Explosipn Sniiiiifff!! and i worked hard for those tssk. well the “Admin” said there were pop ups in my Moogie blog. Firefox of course blocks it. Although I’m using both Firefox Mozilla and Internet Explorer! I even use Maxthon! i wonder why i havent seen any? is it the cookies? tssk i need a techie here! anyway he was asking what was the wtf’s about. Sorry i was mean BE! Look at me.. i have noo keyboards!!! and my ISP pre-paid connection ran out!! Now, would you still give me some MCs (Mystery Credits)?

He claims it must have been the shoutbox/Tagboard. Well i dunno… LWS recommended it and everybody else is not complaining about it. maybe its the add-ons here. ok then gone gone gone be gone! no more stupid add ons.. (lol!) Wish My Moogie Mentor is here…

Filed under: unrest - velvet @ 11:34 am


funny gif originally uploaded by: Cool Chris

Here’s a taggy KnOizKi invented. Of course, the questions are about the author. And bec, he’s one of the 7 lol… hehe. Here’s sorta tribute:

1. Give me a nickname and tell me why you pick it.
Velvetzki - thats my new pseudonym. when i started this blog at WP.. its like a “new chapter” for me. So might as well start of with a cool new name. Its a combination of me and KnOizKi!

2. What was your first impression on me?
weird geek

3. What makes you keep coming back?
free candies? erm.. ok you’re like my coffee. perks me up!

4. Do you ever think I’m too corny for this?
yes. but im more corny for answering this. angal?

5. If you could give me anything what would it be?
Leche Flan!!!!

6. Ever want to tell me something but couldn’t?
crush kita. erm… hihi

7. What reminds you of me?
formerly, the shower. cant forget your posty about being in the shower. hihi
but now goofy. kasi you made that silly comment on not knowimg him. and I wanna go to HK Disneyland!!!!

8. Be honest, you think this blog got taste?
here’s a smiley to answer that — >

9. How well do you know me?
blank. tssk. super blank.

10. Do you leave messages because it is a must or you just want me to feel better?
obligated. kasi nga crush kita. parang ganto yan oh -

11. Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you?
erm…

12. Do you pick someone’s blog because they write better?
nope. because I write better. hahaha!! joke.

13. What music is your genre?

and yep… here’s something for you, Knoizki

hehe… and time to get more weird at wednesday weird ones

1. Why must all things end? Why must they begin?
Nothing is real. But taking the premise that everything created has a beginning, and nothing is real, the conclusion would be nothing will end because nothing really ever exsisted.

Although, another thing which comes to mind is.. which comes first, the egg or the chicken?

2. Why do we have two little nostrils instad of just one big nostril? How would things be different if we just had one?
So that when we have a running nose, and sleep sideways and the lower nostril gets clogged, there is a reserved nostril to help us breathe. if we have one big nostril, there’s no use for a vacum cleaner.

3. If you came across a remote tribe that has never eaten cheese, how would you explain to them what cheese tastes like?
first, if i go to a remote island, i will not bring cheese. it will smell in my bag. second, i doubt if they have bread, so why introduce cheese to them?

4. How can you tell when toothpaste is past its expiration date?
when you cannot squeeze the tube because its hard as a stone.

5. What is the importance of picture frames? What does having the frame really get you?
it tells you not to touch it, because the frame is more expensive than the one in it.


note: tssk. those were lame. one more week! im terribly missing My Moogie!!!

set the fireflies free

Filed under: skywriting - velvet @ 8:40 pm

  

My dad came home last Monday with a bottle full of fireflies. He said a friend caught them flying about their mango tree. There were so abundant, probably in thousands, that if you raise both your palms, about 20 or so of them will fly bumping thru your arms. You can even catch a handful with your eyes closed. Of course, this is only possible during the night, when the “fire” on the insects’ butt is lit. Now, I’m imagining those tiny yellow sparks flying in such number by the backyard. It must have been so beautiful seeing it for real.

Not until yesterday did my dad remember of telling me that he had a bottle of fireflies. He totally forgot about them if I havent found the bottle on top of the piano in the living room. At first I thought “here’s my dad again with his weird hobbies… Now he’s collecting baby cockroaches“. When I asked him why does he have a bottle of roaches, he was dumbfounded “Oh shit, I forgot to set them free!” Paused and switching looks at me and the bottle, grinning, “They are fireflies, anak“.

Handing the bottle to him, he examined it to see if they were still alive, if even one survived 5 days without food and water. The only thing inside that narrow container was a little piece of branch with leaves. And I doubt if it provided any nourishment at all. Although good thing, there were tiny holes at the cover which provided them air. At least they were not suffocated to death.

Out of 11, seven died. And the four remaining were so weak they hardly even crawl at all. One of them was lying wings down, providing but a faint glow, which indicates it might say goodbye to the rest of his brethren any time soon. Moving the bottle in a circular and slanting motion, one would clearly distinguish the dead from the living. With the possible remaining strength they have, the ones exhaustingly clinging to the glass and leaves gave the manifistation of consciousness. And the rest just glides and slides along with the motion of their dungeon of doom.

Five days of struggle, 11 fireflies, clutching to the only means of survival, air. Just beacause they were inferior to mankind, just because they were innocently flying freely in numbers. They were trapped to a place far from their natural habitat. But to the last moment of each one’s grasp for air, not one showed any of trace of bitemarks. The corpses’ heads were complete, their wings although dry, were still sticking to their tiny backs. Yep, they were not cannibals. And the more amazing thing is that with the given limited space, you’d notice how the dead were lying side by side, as if forming a line, and with their glued driedness squished together. As if 11 insects divided in two groups died in unison or commited suicide spontaneously. Death is indeed inevitable.

yes, ive been hiding this blog.

Filed under: dailies, rants, insomniac - velvet @ 1:28 pm

Catergory: rants - yeah this is a rant to myself!

now i feel very very very super guilty!! (here’s a line we used to say when i was in elementary school ~ super duper hyper mega ultra guilty!) ok, handcuff me and lock me in the closet! im such a liar.. well.. actually i wasnt “technically” lying.. i was just keeping a secret… and ooohh the torment! i cant take it anymore not telling him… about this blog.

somebody hasnt been reading properly here tho and blurted out.. ok just mentioned.. in my twisted blog about my using blogsome.. omg! now it can be easily traced.. and grim thoughts runnin in my head now…

well it seems to me that this is someday gonna be known to him. or was i expecting him to find it without me mentioning.. hmm.. it could be flattering to know he was searching for info about me.. yeah sweetie! stalk me!!

although on second thought.. he might get mad. or frustrated.. nhe.. he’s not like that.. he cant even hurt a fly! the more im concerned about is his being “sad”. i dont want him to get sad… what more disappointed in me.

its just that some people in “the real waking world” knows my url there and i cant afford telling stuff that wasnt suppose to be known to them. yeah, for one my cousin (who im afraid had used my real “nickname” in her blog to link to it. tssk! i told her to edit it but brrr…) now my sis may have access to them without me knowing.

whats the commotion about then? why am i blogging away my thoughts and yet not wanting people who i know in real life read? its like an open diary but not to the closely related people - as in family and friends. i actually gave my url to twisted to some of my classmates in comp school (which was not a bad idea at first - bec. i was thinking.. pff. as if they’r gonna actually read!) and my bestfriend Coutry Girl Iha (freedompad). Technically, she’s the only one who should know coz yeah incase something happend to me.. (like suddenly running away, disappearing, went awol, fled to another country*.* without say or kill myself, somebody will show my fam what was going on in my mind). Now, with the bandwith twisted is getting, i lost track on tracking who is visiting it, so i had the urge to erm blog in another blog.

but why am i not telling a particular person about this new blog but i feel i should but i still havent? maybe to reserve some mystery for him to find out. hee.. folks, i tell him Everything! yeah, i sense some protests now (pff.. who’s reading anyway?) Yep, everything! and stuff that only i know and keep.

well, now i should place a sitemeter here from now on. besides, as i mentioned in a post before, an in-depth google search and technorati shows the link to this blog. tssk.. i think im just over-reacting here. need to dive into bed. soon.

which is my homebase? of course still twisted. now im thinking of an excuse for a comment to answer that question there. any suggestions?

note: ok now, aside from the “signs” from the only Danielle Steel ive ever read and currently reading, i recieved a mail which i posted at Lady White Spirit’s blog. some clue: look for the post title bearing the same blog name.

current Music: The Cranes - Dont Wake Me Up

… because im so lazy today.


here’s a Free Supreme Nachos coupon at any Burgoo branch.

I spent my bday there with my family.. woah! they have the best tasting chops that ever landed on these grinder .. lol!

In total, the food was great! Luv the spices, mixture of american and Italian cuisine. Well, I was wanting a kabab but my sis hated them so.. pfff… Oh.. and the waiters sang the “happy birthday” cheer to me.. haha! how embarrasing!! lol.. it was fun anyway..But, yes there is a but… the floors going to the kitchen and cmfort rooms were.. eh.. dirty! I noticed they do not have “moppers” < - eh wrong term. But anyway, just look straight up on your way to the CR, coz that is clean in fairness tho.

And now for my Pre-Paid Addictions:


woeha! yes… you saw it right.. 100 HOURS!
It’s like piso lang per hour! Just like an sms… piso (one peso), but in this case.. with the duration of an hour! ooohhhhh…..

But the catch is.. it can only be used from 5am to 5pm. brr.. so to cater for my insomnia, I still use the free connection from 12 midnight til 8am from BLAST(Another company). Speaking of piso…. look what ive been savin up for:


all these in just one week, tssk.

Well, that disappears easily due to International Calls and sms… yeah, i hardly get rid of the “free texts” until i ran out of the whole pre-paid. the free ones are only bound for local sms. too bad int sms isnt piso.. poor me!

But hehe.. thanks to my sis who just gave me a late bday gift 5 hours ago.. a 500php worth of mobile pre-paid. Now time to make some calls to NL… *giggles

Yeah yeah. i know i should apply for “Line” on both mobile and internet.
..erm, its 4am! i should be going back to bed by now.. hehe…

Music: Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions - Suzanne

Suzanne is waiting at your doorway
and all she does is waste your time
and she looks just like my sister
but she feels just like my man…

And all the times I mean to tell her
The cats in here are over-flowin’
She pulls aside a four leaf clover
And makes me feel right on my own…

Suzanne.. Suzanne..

strange things

Filed under: switched on, dailies - velvet @ 9:02 pm

current Music: The Essence - Bleed

I was busy with my Reflection / Wisdom Illo and msn, when suddenly I heard a loud blast outside the house. I stopped my music player then went outside to check. It was quiet and the sun was just starting to brighten the day. There was virtually nobody on the street and it seems everybody was still sound asleep. Strange, I really thought I heard a loud bang of some sort! But then again, if it was something serious… people should be starting comin out now and the dogs should be barking at the moment. But there was nothing but an eerie stillness in the air. So I went back infron of my PC.

Hours after that, a news sent thru sms caught my attention once again. A Blast indeed occur near my neighborhood. Surfing for some news on the net, I found out that there was a fire that hit some 2.5 kms away from my house. The tagnews on TV states tho.. that 100 houses were affected and injured 34.. tssk!

Reminds me of what the elders here used to say
   “Don’t go out on your birthday, coz fate might take you away”

It almost happened here. Fate missed about 2 kilometers.


note: The Essence was compared to sound like The Cure. hmm.. click to their track above to listen for yourself. And yes, as always.. its a free download that do not expire.
Shadow dance with me… as we loom above the fire

being single sucks…

Filed under: skywriting - velvet @ 1:46 am

bloghopping, i found this post about someone’s list on Top Ten reasons why being single sucks

And here’s what i commented (and more):

Being sinlge sucks sometimes, but havin a partner you dont agree with, (with almost everything) sucks even more.

The same as his (the link post above) sentiments, i think id be (physically) single in a long time too.. and it might not be (psychologically) healthy for some, but indeed i too have found better “people” online. with the blogs i come across with, people i meet. its so strange why these people do not exist in the real ‘walking’ life. i mean, most thoughts poured online are hidden in pseudonyms. in the ‘walking’ life.. no one would expect me to write like i do.. to speak of opinions like i have..

And strangely, with all the personalities i have seen on the blogsphere, i have created this “perfectly-shaped” person that would be the partner ill be willing to be with (let’s say until my hair turns to grey, or even… until the last breath of my existence). But the prob is, who would fit this image? who would have the same taste in music, books, poetry.. etc… hmm.. and the diversity of which i would be excitingly exploring as well as having these same feelings towards me too? who would i not bore to death? whose smile would seem to faint the brightest star?

ive been into relationships that mostly end up sour. not that there’s something wrong with me (or is there? i think they think im too weird for them), but it seems that either they hurt me (happens most of the time - one even physical) or i hurt them (happened once and he was my best friend). after all that, i am guilty of creating this protective shell around me which nobody would penetrate. i have created a world of my own which nobody would linger in… and then i found blogging. and then i found p2p file sharing… and then i met people with great minds and cool taste. and then my shattered world have been shed with light and the once lost pieces now glows and all of them are in sight. the only thing to do is pick them up one by one, place them all together.. with precision and patience. lots of patience.

i consider myself as a very patient individual, and trained myself to accept all the hurt without having revenge, without fighting for my rights. i tend to masquerade all my dreadfulness and darkism behind what people see of me. i easy laugh at the stupidest joke but deep inside i lack the laughter and smiles. but in the past seven years, not once did i went out with friends… not once did i enjoyed myself and my surrounding. because i was deprived. and i was agreeingly depriving myself. just recently did i feel there are interesting people in the ‘walking’ life.. but not as interesting as to know them more and be attached emotionally. Maybe i tend to shun my world, to close my eyes. or was there anyone brave enough to dig up my thoughts, decipher them?

Having said all that, i remember the film How to Make an American Quilt. And the tagline which lingers in my head after seeing that a decade ago was…

Who would you marry, your Best Friend or Your Soulmate?

Strangely, i havent figured out the answer yet. Because the questions that should be before it or follow it is.. Who is Your Best Friend? Who is Your Soulmate?
